Super cool project. I also love the details all over the vehicle: straps, rivets, tail lamps...and dlo graphics

in the end if you are passionate about creating concepts, choosing not to make profit from it, is not a train smash but still a learning curve backed up with a name that has advertising capabilities

Thanks Jamie. I understand your perspective. There is a large segment of designers who feel Local Motors propagates the devaluation of our profession, especially due to their low return on talent and time invested by many. But the other segment feels that their competitions cultivate enthusiasm, motivation, and a creative outlet for those seeking one. I happen to fall into the latter. While Local Motors hasn't been financially fulfilling, personally it has been time well spent.

Great forms. Not a fan of Local Motors, but nice work. Hate to see them get such great work for free.

There probably was, Ian. Those things were massive lumps. Thanks Vil!

You had me at "2x John Deere Model D motors" :) Weren't those the engines so big, that there was a smaller gas powered engine to act as the starter motor?

Love the detail and the call outs! Always great work.
